Ari Folman is the Israeli director of the award-winning documentary, Waltz with Bashir, which detailed his experiences in the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) during the Lebanon war in the 1980s. The film focused on the notorious Sabra and Shatila massacre in 1982, where a Christian militia killed hundreds of Palestinian refugees as the IDF, including Folman, guarded the gate and became complicit in the atrocity.

He spoke to Steven MacKenzie of The Big Issue UK about how he feels Waltz with Bashir failed to make any changes in light of the current conflict in Gaza.
